i'm michelle obama, i'm married to a guy i love. bill clinton, a sharp policy critiquer for republicans. one thing after another, facts and statistics. i think barack obama has to say, where will i lead you? we have heard so much in the last few weeks and months about things could be worse if someone else was in charge. if the republicans come back, it'll get even worse. really, at a convention like this, this is your big moment. you have to lead and lean forward and say, this is how i'm going to lead and where i'm going to take you. >> i agree with that, and i think the question is not just in terms of the policy vision for the next four years, but let's say the american people agree with exactly what he wants to do policy-wise. how does he convince us he's going to be able to work with an obstructionist republican congress? >> i'm not sure he's going to try that. you know, we've seen certain nods to bipartisanship and some of his remarks, but i've also read a lot of great profiles in the last couple days talking about the lessons
